[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odia:
If you want to go to the expense of having your phone repaired for no reason that is up to you ...

Based on what proof do you think I am wrong? Let me give you a simple rule of thumb... If your LCD displays something then your phone is NOT bricked, if it turns on and the 2 touch sense buttons are eluminated and the screen is blank then its a brick.

I can see from your log that the phone was never touched by any flash process the only thing which happened was when you pressed start an HDLC command was sent to the phone to enter recovery mode, this is normal at the start of the flash process and unless the process completes the command to exit recovery mode is not sent, so your phone will be left in recovery mode PHONE ! PC.

There are a lot of inteligent users in this forum, but a lot of info is based on no facts at all, although some is ok ...

I own RIFF box myself and out of 27 I9000s that I have repaired only 1 needed RIFF box to work, too many users panic and start screaming JTAG needed ...

Now you may look at my posts and think newbie, but others will know who I am from my alias here, I was going to start sharing some info which would have been very useful and build on the already built knowledge on the I9000 but since I get jumped on by some user telling me I am wrong without any proof to back it up, I will go back to being a lurker ...

Samsung never intended to disable 3BM, the problem they had is that they released firmware packs where the boot and sbls where not paired, using 2 different memory addresses.

JPA has the latest and greatest paired boot and sbl, sbl2 has never been released and thus never overwritten ...

1 last bit of info to help users without 3BM working, connect to the modem port and send AT+FUS? you will then be in DLM.

I tried to get it repaired but they couldn't fix it, I payed nothing.

What makes me think you are wrong is that your method didn't work. This for me is proof enough...

Clearly there is code being executed; but that is no reason to assume it's listening for recovery key combos or anything else. The button lights do not illuminate.

My definition of 'bricked' is if the device becomes as useful as a brick.

Yes that sounds like it could be what happened.

But I'm left without a means to leave this 'flashing mode'.

I assure you I am not panicking. The bottom line here is that there is a severely limited amount of options available for me to get my phone working on my own. I.e. Zero, nothing works. It's only natural to concede that I will need to bring it to a professional.

I have very good prove that you are wrong, namely that the method you said works; doesn't.

I really didn't intend any offense at any stage of this thread. I was just skeptical.

Anyone can already get into recovery using adb or I believe there are some apps that can do it.

[Q] Am i bricked? What firmware should i flash?

Solved after 34 tries with Odin and changing USB ports and flashing to JM8. thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odia:
Seems some more info has hit the public sector

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8713541&postcount=1

Read the info in red at the bottom and then relate this to the info I posted in #12

I see no reason the store you took your phone too could not repair your phone, if they had RIFF or any other JTAG its impossible for it not to be repaired unless its a hardware problem (in your case very unlikley) or they do not know how to use it.

The boot flags (tells the phone to start up in which mode) as stored in a zone which RIFF calls the Gremlin zone, I would imagine that they did not repair this zone.

Ok thats it, back to lurking now for real, just wanted to point out all the proof needed.

[Q] Galaxy S Complete Brick

Hi

I think I did everything I was supposed to do to make my 3 button mode working correctly. I rooted my Galaxy S using One Click Root/UnRoot I9000, then I installed ROM Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery. I flashed it using a file I found in this thread: /showthread.php?t=812434[/url]

Unfortunately, think I bricked my phone...

I can't turn it on using anything. Holding Power, Power + Vol+ + Home, Power + Vol+ + Home, Power + Vol+. The screen remains black at all time. Even plugging it to power supply gives completly no effect. Same with connecting usb cable and pressing key combinations. The PC also can't see this device (adb reboot download command doesn't work).

Can you give me any ideas about what to do now (I am newbie at Android OS)?

Help me NOT to brick my phone! :(

Hello guys,

I flashed the Doc_Kalpik rom and applied some of their patches afterwards (without rebooting between each patch). It was voodoo, disabling of decreased ring volume and jp6 browser.

After this, I wasn't able to boot my phone. It got stuck in the first boot screen and i can't enter recovery. I can enter download-mode though. Tried flashing a new kernel via odin but without luck (still couldn't enter recovery).

Now i'm downloading the original leaked release of samsungs Froyo rom, which can be flashed via odin, since recovery is gone. Is this the way i should do it? And should i repartition the phone via odin - if voodoo maybe has done some changes?

Thanks in advance :-(

[Q] Phone bricked with JP5/JPM

Hello all,

I have the following *ahem* pressing problem.

In the process of (re)flashing the phone with JP6/JPM (namely this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=814091) I got into the following (unfortunate) sequence:

- Unzipping in the ClockWorkMod failed (?!?! it worked previously)

- I tried to boot CF's root image but writing to the phone failed ?!?!

Now, the problem is -- phone shows this icon on the screen (see attached image).

I can get the phone into download mode but Odin does not see the phone (battery is 40% -- could this be an issue ?)

Any suggestions on what to do next ?

Many thanks in advance for help !

I've had that problem before. Two viable solutions have I tested before:

1) Flash 2.1 (I9000XWJM9/JM1/JM4) worked perfectly as a safe house twice^^

I used it with the 512.pit and repartition on (I'm not exactly sure if you need it, tried it once with repartitioning and then without. Never tried it the other way round...)

2) Flash 2.2 (I9000XXJPM) from opensource.samsung.com

Works, but the actual ROM is crap (It's still froyo, but there are some things that didn't work: Kies Sync, Exchange Connection, for example))

worked well with the 802.pit (without repartition!)

3) Flash 2.2 - SztupY_JPM_JP6_Multinational_3.0

A custom ROM which I use at the moment

works like a charm ;)

Bricked or Still Fixable?

Hi there,

I had my phone running 2.1 applied OCLF + vodoo which made my phone unusable hence I flash it with update.zip to run 2.2 froyo, custom one and I actually found a different custom rom which interested me and I flashed it next thing I know, I can only go to recovery mode+ download mode and I get a black screen after the sgs logo.

So I read that I'm suppose to use odin to flash it to the original software(note that I don't know my original one) so I thought I could use this one :

I9000ZSJH1_PDA_CL478291.tar I didn't tick repartition when flashing.

now my phone has black screen after boot, also recovery no longer works and download mode the same, the fix to fix the 3 button combo was removed.

What can I do next with my phone?

Regards. ):
